way to win over potential customers with answers like that... given that delays are quite common when it comes to these products, my question was entirely fair. here's another question. when it arrives (wherever it is arriving..since that is not in the purported answer) today to the mystery spot...w...

any updated ETA on the DFH?

I have noticed some stores are pretty slow to re-stock their ST, so it would be nice to have both beers on the shelves at the same time.

Well here I am going to waste some more space... Sometimes I think I stumbled on to the LCBO fan club forum. I did read the post that suggests Dogfish doesn't have enough supply to meet some LCBO minimum. Interesting how that supposed explanation appeses you... How is it that Dogfish can supply its ...

hey skaghevn

Can you explain to me how you know this is not the LCBO's fault?

It was the LCBO that wrote July in its booklet..now it looks like August at the earliest....did someone force the LCBO to print July instead of August?

Is it that breweries are always conspiring to make the LCBO look bad?

In terms of wanting our beer "now"...once again it was the LCBO that promised the beer in July...the LCBO must operate on Island time...

I heard that it went through quality control though...and they sent it back...said it tasted too good to be sold in Ontario!

just to be clear tuqueboy..not criticizing the Star...could be a coincidence..if so..that's fine with me. the more stories...the more people learn how customer unfriendly our system is in Ontario.\ And the Star stories have been good. I guess Bill Gates would have the best access of all at the TBS.....

Looks like some editors at The Star were reading the National Post earlier in the week and decided to focus on The Beer Store. Nothng wrong with that...the more information for the public (and different newspaper readers) the better. I like how The Beer Store spokesman talks about "open access&...
